no first time pga tour winner in this tournament's history. an event as you saw where the veterans tend to do well. tiger joined us earlier in the tower. shot 68 today. a very good start to his round but ran into some trouble on the second nine and really just battled it home. so three good days for tiger and one very challenging day yesterday. nick: yeah yesterday was a test day. the first time he'd played close to the lead for a while so i think that's what we'll -- he'll take away from the week was how he handled saturday. bill: here's rickie. finish with a flurry and he does! nick: just to put a little bit

of pressure. bill: so the lead is two. rickie shoots 69. he was five under in his last four holes of regulation to get into the playoff at the players. birdied three of the last four to win the scottish open the week before the open championship. talked about husband ryder cup run. nick: but five bogeys today. he wasn't expecting that. go out thinking of making birdies. pretty impressive. makes troy merritt's just -- might be sweeter if he has the nervous to stand up and swing it nicely to the middle of the green.

ian: 194 yards. scott has given him 6 and he hits his middle irons a long way. nick: well, he can forget the flag and just try and land it in that front section. get it over the ridge. get it in the back section and that's job done. david: he drives that one in low. it's a little left. nick: it's all right. it's going to hop up. david: that's a great effort. really a great shot. bill: didn't change his strategy much. went right at it, although he came up short. two-shot cushion. nick: the two-shot cushion is really important because i would not like to be two-putting that one for the win. he's got two putts for the win.

>> yeah, on that camera guy there. feel the breeze? yeah? bill: kevin chappell. david: just 142 yards left. 9-iron. nick: not enjoying himself on the last few holes. bill: it's been a tough day. again, the lineup tonight on cbs -- "60 minutes" and a look at how our country is preparing for space battle. followed by a new "big brother," "madam secretary," and "csi: cyber." tonight, only cbs. a tip of the cat from troy

merritt. set the course record with 61 yesterday and held it together with a final round here on sunday. nice round of applause. so he'll play in a major for the first time. pga championship in two weeks. and he'll make the drive down magnolia lane as a contestant at the masters for the first time next april. nick: very impressive to be leading at the start of the final day and he'll more than likely get him to three under and be the best for the day. four under. out of the top two pages he's outplayed everybody for the one which is even more credit. bill: if he goes on to win here's a look at the fedexcup point stand. troy will move to 38th and

jordan spieth with a big lead over bubba watson. jimmy walker was here this week and played well early but faded yesterday. jason day the winner last week and then dustin johnson at number five. bill: obviously for troy merritt yesterday was such a key. started at 35. the 35th spot then shot that 11 and went all the way to the top of the leaderboard. he had the best round of the day by three shots. nick: yeah. one correction on my part. carlos ortiz shot five under today but as i was saying, considering you're leading and you're shooting three under better than all the guys chasing

you. bill: kevin chappell trying to end with a birdie on a really tough day. bill: just going to finish -- nick: just going to finish, get out of troy's way. bill: well, just didn't have it today. 77 for kevin. and the stage belongs to troy merritt. nick: he's fortunate he's far you have you have -- far enough up that ridge he doesn't have to deal with all of it so just cozy this one over and down.

bill: he'd love to win it with a birdie. oh! with an exclamation point. and he has been brilliant this weekend. 61 and 67 and troy merritt is a winner on the pga tour. another look nick.

nick: it's fabulous, isn't it? whatever that little alignment change he made on friday night write that one down. remember that one. boy, did that work for the weekend. bill: troy merritt is our champion and he's down with david feherty. david: thank you billy. a lot of young men might have folded over that finishing stretch. you have to be incredibly proud of that. troy: when i told you coming down 14, i won't be 30 till october. the nerves aren't quite there but nonetheless hit really solid shots coming in. battled to the end and hats off to rickie for finishing strong. he's a great competitor, great player and i'm just happy i came out on top this time. david: congratulations on your first. first of many. we'll see new akron. well done. bill: memorable week for troy merritt, finishing with a birdie. a three-shot victory in the

sports fan. there's a the lo of questions that a lot of these fans have, not the least of which would be this crazy off season that we just went through the departure of some seriously high name high profile names from the eagles and then bringing in guys who are slightly unproven and maybe perhaps not the healthiest players in the world. their track records maybe not the best starting with sam bradford. that said, people are feeling pretty optimistic about this season. here's just a sampling of what we heard not too long ago. >> i think chip's doing the right thing. we got a young ball team going, you know, and i think we -- i think we possibly see a championship this year. >> the most exciting off season in the 12 years i've been in philadelphia so a great off season, fun exciting much to talk about and who knows eagles have a great chance to win the division. >> i'm feeling good about the season. our defense really improved.

we got a great linebacker core. best in the league i feel. secondary a little shaky but i got faith in chip, man. in chip we trust. >> reporter: in chip we trust definitely the mantra of a lot of people we talked to. everyone did have differing opinions on where this season was going to end up in terms of a final record for this season. that said i'm going with nine and seven, natasha i don't know about you. that's just my personal opinion. >> nine and seven. >> reporter: that's what i'm going to. maybe 10 and six. >> 10 and six. let's go for the 10 and six. >> reporter: sounds good. >> we'll see. thank you so much. i'm excited about this season though. thank you very much matt. tractor-trailer cause delays in the northbound lanes of i-76 in camden county. emergency crews were able to contain the fire. one lane has reopened. two lanes remain closed. one of the tires may have sparked the fire. luckily no one was injured. and a coast guard

birthplace of the world's greatest nation. >> it's been a very sad ending but overall it's been amazing. >> reporter: if you're sitting at home worrying don't. hitch bot's creators say the project will continue. they say they've gotten dozens of offers to help build a new robot but they say right now they are focused on remembering their loved one. >> my gosh, this is awful that it would happen in philly. >> reporter: of police are looking into it although the creators say at the time i spoke to them that they haven't filed a police report. they say they're just focused on the project at this point. >> thank you so much. >> reporter: you got it. >> we'll have a vigil for hitch bot. thank you steve. justin drabick is along with us. heat wave i guess it's still continuing. >> 90's today. i promise later this week we'll start to cool it down a little bit. if you're looking forward to that wait a few more days. we'll take you to atlantic city right now. live look at sunshine and clouds. temperatures there still in the low 80's many people out on the boardwalk enjoying a nice night nice finish to the weekend in south jersey.
